Jordan Poole scores 41 points in three quarters and social media trolls the Warriors [VIDEO]

Jordan Poole scores 41 points in three quarters vs Knicks

Jordan Poole took much of the blame for the Golden State Warriors’ disappointing 2023 season. At the start of the season, the Warriors hoped to repeat as champions. Had that been the case, Stephen Curry would have five championship rings. Instead, the Warriors lost in six games to the Los Angeles Lakers in six games. This gave LeBron James his rare playoff series win over Golden State. As a result, Poole was traded to the Washington Wizards. Tonight, he dropped 41 points in New York, against the Knicks.

Jordan Poole was the success story of the Golden State Warriors’ 2022 championship run. In 2019, injuries cost the Warriors the 2019 championship. After that, Kevin Durant immediately left Golden State for the Brooklyn Nets. As a result, the Warriors worked out a trade for D’Angelo Russell. In addition, injuries to Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson sank the Warriors to the NBA’s worst record in 2020. This led to the development of guys like Jordan Poole, who came up big in 2022.

Jordan Poole ultimately wasn’t a good fit for the Warriors in 2023. As a result, the Warriors hit the reset and traded him to the Washington Wizards for Chris Paul. Many people have said the Wizards have made a bad decision, in trading for Poole. Word is that Poole wanted a bigger offensive role and this is why he was traded. If that’s really the case, JP made his case, as he torched the New York Knicks with 41 points. He dropped 29 points in the first half and got to 41 without playing the fourth quarter.
